Searching is upped in class off a 10lb higher mark having landed a double with victory at Hereford. Demon Fou has been raised the same amount for winning over track and trip while Shiroccan Roll has undergone wind surgery since placing at Fontwell in August. Minella Mojo failed to cope with a rise in the weights at Warwick last time while She's Gina recorded a double at Southwell earlier but hasn’t raced since June. SPECIAL ACCEPTANCE (NAP) was only third over today’s trip at Warwick earlier in the month but in a higher grade than this and Paul Webber’s charge may prove the one to side with given the fourth has subsequently won.
